Description

2017 Cannondale SuperSix Evo

The original SuperSix EVO offered such an incredible balance of all the elements of performance that Tour magazine named it the "Best Bike in the World". Cannondale were flattered, but after some celebratory champagne, they rolled up their sleeves and got back to work. With the 2017 SuperSix Evo, Cannondale have taken that same harmonious blend of elements and cranked each part up to eleven. They've made it even stiffer, even lighter, even more smooth-riding; they've even added aero features.

BallisTec at its best. Both versions share the same ultra-strong base structure, but the Hi-MOD version uses a sophisticated mix of high and ultra-high modulus fibres to create the stiffening network. Due to their extreme rigidity, this delivers tremendous stiffness with less material, which keeps the overall structure weight to a minimum. The Hi-MOD fibers also deliver a communicative, lively ride-feel that keeps riders more connected with the road surface, letting them push the limits with greater control.

BALLISTEC CARBON™

This version shares the same structure, lay-up and shapes as the Hi-MOD versions but the stiff ness and ride feel are dialled in with more layers of intermediate-modulus fibres, rather than the more expensive high modulus fibres. This additional material adds a slight amount of weight but delivers the same stiffness and deflection as the Hi-MOD versions, and enables Cannondale to offer BallisTec technology to more riders.

­INCREDIBLE HANDLING: An absolute rocket on descents thanks to sharp handling geometry and a frame that’s stiff yet compliant in all the right places.

­

All in the quest to make it the best climbing, best descending, best sprinting, best attacking, best all-around-from-starting-gun-to-finish-line race bike ever made. Because true power lies in the balance - designed for serious road racers, discerning enthusiasts, and anyone passionate about pure performance.

For the new model year we are again offering our renowned Special Edition models across much of the Cannondale range that feature superb upgraded wheels at minimal cost. We also have extensive stocks of the standard specification bikes at everyday low prices - please contact us for up to date prices on these models.

Cannondale SuperSix Evo

Hi-MOD BALLISTEC CARBON - BallisTec is Cannondale's proprietary method of high-strength, high-stiffness carbon construction. It is the ideal blend of the most advanced materials in the world combined with the most advanced carbon engineering and design. The results speak for themselves. It enables Cannondale to push the boundaries of light weight while tightly controlling the frame's overall stiffness and ride feel on bikes like the new SuperSix EVO, new SuperX and Carbon Synapse.

It starts with a base structure composed of ultra-strong fibres like those used for military ballistic armouring, and high-strength, high-impact resins similar to what is used in the construction of carbon baseball bats; light, stiff and designed to endure thousands of deformation cycles.

Cannondale then combine these fibres and this resin in a lay-up designed to maximize the anisotropic (direction-specific) qualities of the fibres in a carbon structure that is extremely light, extremely stiff and capable of withstanding high loads without damage or loss of structural integrity, and ensures that they are up to the rigors of real-world riding.

To tune the overall stiffness and ride-feel of the frame, Cannondale strategically add the stiffer, but more brittle higher modulus fibres to create an interconnected network of stiffening fibres throughout the frame. This allows them to precisely tune in different amounts of stiffness and deflection at different points throughout the frame, creating an unbelievably balanced and nuanced ride.

BALLISTEC HI-MOD™

BallisTec at its best. Both versions share the same ultra-strong base structure, but the Hi-MOD version uses a sophisticated mix of high and ultra-high modulus fibres to create the stiffening network. Due to their extreme rigidity, this delivers tremendous stiffness with less material, which keeps the overall structure weight to a minimum. The Hi-MOD fibers also deliver a communicative, lively ride-feel that keeps riders more connected with the road surface, letting them push the limits with greater control.

BALLISTEC CARBON™

This version shares the same structure, lay-up and shapes as the Hi-MOD versions but the stiff ness and ride feel are dialled in with more layers of intermediate-modulus fibres, rather than the more expensive high modulus fibres. This additional material adds a slight amount of weight but delivers the same stiffness and deflection as the Hi-MOD versions, and enables Cannondale to offer BallisTec technology to more riders.

SYSTEM INTEGRATION - designing the frame, fork and key components like crankset and seatpost together as a system can save hundreds of grams compared to competitors.

ULTRA LIGHT DISC INTEGRATION - New For 2016 - the unreal control of discs, without the weight. Cannondale’s flat mount integrated disc design adds less than 150 grams to the frameset, and maintains EVO’s sweet ride characteristics.

SPEED SAVE™ - PERFORMANCE ORIENTED SAVE FEATURES: Much like the suspension on F1 cars, SPEED SAVE features are engineered to help the bike roll faster, not simply to make it more comfortable. Emphasizing light weight and torsional rigidity, SPEED SAVE delivers improved rolling speed, better acceleration, and dramatically improved cornering speed without negatively affecting power transfer.

SPEED SAVE works primarily via the balance between rear triangle and the fork. On the rear triangle, both the chainstays and the seatstays are able to flex slightly vertically to absorb shock, while up front, the fork’s offset dropouts and lay-up allow it to have a matched amount of deflection. This creates a true micro-suspension system that allows the wheels to track over imperfect surfaces, whether the rider is seated or standing. This in turn provides better traction and handling, higher speeds and faster cornering.

The second part of the system concentrates on rider comfort. The seat tube features a directionally optimised carbon layup which allows it to deflect slightly fore and aft, which diffuses vibration and impacts and reduces the energy-sapping muscle micro-trauma caused by long days in the saddle. All told, the new EVO's comfort is improved by over 20%.

DELTA SEAT TUBE - For increased stiffness, the seat tube flares to a dramatically wide, ovalized section where it meets the BB.

CONTINUOUS CARBON - A continuous network of high modulus stiffening fibres runs around joint areas and along the outer edges of the frames tubes, connecting all parts of the frame and allowing precise tuning of stiffness and ride quality.

28C TYRE CLEARANCE - The new SuperSix EVO is designed to accept up to 28c tyres for reduced rolling resistance and improved comfort over rougher roads.

If you are still exploring a range of options, or would like information on a number of different components then feel free to enter your questions or thoughts in the appropriate boxes or "other details" section, however vague! And if you only want to vary one or two of the components in one of our complete bike specifications then simply pop some notes in the relevant boxes.

Once we have received the details we'll email or ring you back as soon as possible.

Also available as a bare frameset for custom specification!

It is rare that a bike leaves us without being personalised in some way to meet individual requirements – whether it’s no-cost swaps of component sizes or ratios, tailoring of standard specifications, or complete custom builds >>

We don’t just re-box or un-pack factory assembled bikes – we re-build and tune them using our expertise to ensure that bearings run freely, cables move smoothly, and of course that everything is set up to fit you, all at Everyday Low Prices>>

All new bike purchases include a free fitting session - but if you are unable to visit us we will happily advise on sizing & set-up remotely or use your own measurements, then ship your bike free to mainland UK (excludes Highlands) >>

We operate the UK's largest permanent demo fleet, with test rides available on most of our range - but please call or email to book an appointment and to confirm availability of model/size as we can't possibly carry every combination! >>
